About half past ten o'clock on Thurs day mornir.g, our citizens were alarmed by the cry of fire. The stable in the rear of the Cape Fear Bank was found to be on fire, and threatening ii i i to destroy me wnoie square consisting mostly of wooden buildings several very near the stable but through the exertions of our citizens, and the prompt and efficient service rendered by the fire department, the fire was confined to the buildin in which it originated. It is thought by some to have been caused by spontaneous combustion, there being green forage in the loft ; while oth ers think it the work of an incendiary, which no doubt is correct. CENTRE ROAD. We understand that at the meeting at McGregor's, about seven thousand doll ars were subscribed, with a certainty of ob taining several thousand more. In Fayetteville, we learn, the citizens have subscribed liberally, leaving no doubt about securing the charter and organizing the company. We are happy to learn from the Observer, that " nearly -S IO,000 have been subscribed to the Favetteville aiid Raleigh Plank Road." CAPE FEAR AND DEEP RIVER IMPROVE MENT. We are advised of the shipment of one hundred and forty-five Germans from New York to this place for the purpose of prosecuting the above works.

A FEW WORDS TO THE POINT, Ox Secession and Disunion, Shriving wherein and how Danl. Webster, the great whig idol, avows the right of secession , and how the whig editors who bow down and worship him have made asses of themselves. The reader need not be scared. We shall not bore, him with a long rigmarole on this subject. We could name some papers in North Carolina the columns of w hich have contained scarcely anything else than "secession" "disunion," &-c. &.c, for the last 12 months. We only won der that such papers retain any of their sub scribers. But to the point : The Raleigh Register of the 11th, for the pur pose of showing who are disuni'onists, published a resolution that was acted on in the last Legisla ture of North Carolina, in the Senate. The re solution is as follows, according to the Register: Resolved, That the people of North Ca rolina, as an organized political communi ty, huvi the right to secede or withdraw from the Union, whenever a majority of the people, in Convention asseinuieu, sun. decide a withdrawal necessary to protect their property or persons from unconstitu tional and oppressive legislation by the General Government, or whenever, by the failure of the General Government to ful fil her constitutional obligations, the peo ple of the State may deem such a step ne cessary, in order to secure the enjoyment of the rights, privileges and protection guarantied to them by the Constitution of the United States; and in such an emer gency a -majority of the people of North Carolina, acting through the organized authorities of the State, would be entitled .to the sole and undivided allegiance of all her citizens. A number of democrats and a few whigs voted for this resolution, and a number of whigs and a few democrats voted against it. Call us a disunionist, or anything.that a vile temper may suggest, we say we should have vot ed for that resolution. We have not yet come to that state of mental degradation that we would vote to continue under a government that failed to protect our person and property. As well live among the Arabs. Any man who would vote against that resolu tion as an abstract proposition, is unfit to repre sent a republican people. Now to the next point: We shall now show that Danl. Webster, the great idol of the whig newspapers, has admitted arid avowed all that a State rights advocate desires for justification A short time ago, Mr Webster, dressed in a fisherman's garb, with a broad brim hat, went to Capon Springs in Virginia. There he made a set "Union" speech. But after dinner, when the toasts were drank, the Baltimore Sun says : Mr Bruce gave as a toast, d.S?5sSs Sfi:? -on When Mr Webster again addressed the company, declaring that the law was con stitutional, and that it should be enforced ?W ?l ,f 8 a7 lher ,aw' He declared that if the North wilfully set aside that P . t V e CoQ8titution, the South would not be bound any longer by the compact. ii e Const'tut'on was binding an all. If one pat ty breaks it, the other par ty is discharged from the compact. A bargain broken on one side was broken on all sides.' He continued his speech for some time in the further maintenance that the Constitution in all its parts was equal ly binding on all, and that no one section of it could be set aside, or violated, with out destroying the whole. Now we don't want any better southern rights State rights or secession doctriue than that. t :,. 1 1 i - . . x an we ciaim an we contend for. And it shows what asses are those editors who are de nouncing secessionists in one breath, and lauding Danl. Webster in the next. - Cd- In fact, it cannot be denied that all the southern whig editors declared at the time the fugitive slave law was under discussion, that its infraction would be cause of dissolution of the Union. Was there no "disunion" or "secession" in that ? There is no democratic candidate in this State who does not avow that while he feels that there has been sufficient aggression on the South to justify her withdrawal, yet in that spirit of pa tience and forbearance under oppression, he is willing yet a while longer to try the faith of the northern people. So that looking at things as they really exist, it would be difficult for a novice in politics to see what those ninnies have been trying to effect for the last 12 months. But knowing them as we do, we understand it. A new steamer will soon commence running between Baltimore and Charleston, S. C. NEW PAPER. We have received the first number.of the Concord Mercury." published in Concord, Cabarrus county, N. C, by Wm. H. Campbell, at $2 a year weekly. The Mercury is whig in politics. The increase of newspapers in North Carolina within the last ten years has been rapid and sur prising, considering the very scanty mail facili ties, and the very sparse population. Out of the whole number published, we doubt if there are more than six that are making any thing ovn- expenses of publication. For the Carolinian. FAYETTEVILLE AND CENTRE PLANK ROAD MEETING. According to notice, this meeting took place on the J 2th inst., at the residence of M. McGre gor, Esq. The meeting was organized by call ing Col. David .Gillis Jo the Chair, and appoint ing Dr. HectorMcLean ami Dr. G C.

After having heard the opinions of several of the members, the Books of Subscription were re opened, and a liberal number of shares taken. From the interest felt, it was very manifest that the people are determined to build the Road. The members of the meeting, after partaking of an excellent dinner prepared by our hospitable friend, M. McGregor, unanimously adopted the following : Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting are due and are hereby tendered to our worthy friend. :Vi.

Mr Editor: The seventy-fifth anniversary of American Independence was celebrated by an immense concourse of the citizens of Lumber Bridge and vicinity with extreme delight and admirable eclat, blended with an indubitable pvidenee of an unusual spirit of patriotism, and t,r.f,,ipr wiih exalted enthusiasm. The Inde pendent Company of Lumber Bridge having formed a procession, which moving ostentatious ly in view, disolaved a magnificent spectacle. Having marched through the principle avenues, they proceeded towards the edifice set apart tor tlx- occasion, in which the assemblage convened. After :n able and eloquent prayer, applicable to the occasion, by Mr A. Davis, the National De claration was read in a distinct, expressive and ,llihpr:ite tone bv Mr M. N. McKinnon. Then Mi-ose the Orator if the day, Mr J. C. McNair, who addressed the audience with an eloquent nrntinn. reo lete with those explicit, pure aRd oatriotic sentiments which will ever be warmly hi ihed bv everv true-hearted American pre sent, of which rhe entire audience apparently seemed to be composed. "He reminded them in Is of the uncertainty of the t!mp. that "in time of peace they should pre pare lor war," that although the demon of de- at f nf ion at work that although tne mur murings of those murky clouds of fanaticism and nullification which darken and confuse our north ern and southern horizons, may become heavier and heavier; yet he warned them to cherish a stronger attachment to and love for the Union nd that State which should occupy the nighest rank in our " near! oi nearis suuinn i.m Carolina-which regardless of the conduct of . . ... . U l7,..t. her sister emulators, should maintain a nm stronger attachment, devotion and Jove ior mai lovely banner upon whose undulating folds are fixed that thrilling, all-powerful word. Union, lest the voice of patriotism- should for a moment cease, and the grating voice of discordant fac tions would cause the exclamation, 4 Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin," which might be in scribed upon the ramparts of our country's glory. After the benediction was pronouneed, the procession again formed, and the scene closed by firing platoons, &.C. &c. Never before has this festival day been witnessed here to have passed off with a more marked feeling and deligfet. Scarcely was there to be seen one who indulged in ridiculous excess of any kind whatever but everything passed agreeably and beautifully. Thus may every anniversary be observed. It is the opinion of earnest and sagacious christians that the acquisition of Califor nia by the United States was designed bv God to facilitate the spread of e gos pel and the establishment of the christian religion in China.

CAMaMLflNIAK On the morning of the 28th insl, there will be an eclipse of the Sun, on its northern limb, which will be visible more or less throughout the United States, with the exception of the southern part of Florida. It will commence at Baltimore, Washington and Richmond at about 20 minutes past 7 o'clock in the morning, be at its greatest point at 5 minutes past 8, and end at about 10 minutes of 9 o'clock. This eclipse will be more or less visible throughout Europe and the Northern part of Africa, it will be central and total on the meridian in longitude S3 de. 43 min. west from Greenwich, and latitude 60 deg. 54 min. north.

This crop must be materially shortened, if we should not have rain during the present week. We learn, also, that the tobacco has been injuriously affected by the dry wea ther. One good sokmg rain, however, would revive the crops and put them in a condition to turn out quite as well as it was anticipated they would some two or three weeks since Ar. C. Standard. In this section the crops have suffered much for rain. We had a small shower yesterday erening. but -we fear it has not done much good. because there was not enough. TERRIBLE STORM IN TEXAS. Steamers driven ashore and lost. Advices from Texas to the 5th have been received. A terrible storm had prevailed along the coast for several days, in which the steam ships Mexico, Courtland and Wm. Perm, lying in Matagorda bay, had been driven on shore. The steamer Maria Burt, which left Galveston on the 24th, encoun tered a severe gale," and was totally lost. Many houses in Texas had been blown down; the young cotton crop was partially destroyed. As far as can be ascertained no lives have been lost. New York. The extra session of the New York legislature adjourned on Fri day. Before its adjournment it passed the canal-enlargement bill, which violated the State constitution, for the purpose ot giv ing to the whig party of New York the patronage accruing from the expenditure of nine millions of dollars to be wielded for party purposes. Our readers cannot have forgotten that the President, accom panied by Mr Webster, Mr Crittenden, Mr Graham, and Mr Hall, invaded the State of New York on the eve of the nine- million election, ostensibly for the purpose 1 of witnessing the opening of the New York I and Erie railroad, making speeches all the while calculated to affect the pending election for the nine millions of patronage. Union. Great fhaud ox Govkunmext. We understand (iom various quarters that the developments concerning the claim of Gardiner before the Mexican Commission, on which the treasury .aid some four hun dred and twenty-seven thousand dollars, prove the claim utterly fraudulent. We are informed that the case is before the grand jury of this District, and that testimony has been produced to show'that the Mexican Alcalde, by whom the docu ments were authenticated, received twenty eight thousand dollars for the service. The report is that Gardiner in a moment of irritation, revealed that the claim was fraudulent and that it was known to be such by some of the parlies concerned with him as agents and counsel and that be cause they monopolized so large a portion of the proceeds, that is to say, more than four-fifths', he did not care how soon they were exposed and compelled to disgorge. As for himself, he was going to Europe, and would be safe with his eighty thousand n dlars. This transaction will now be unveiled. If it shall appear that this government, in attempting to disburse three millions and a half, is subject to such monstrous fraud in a single claim, what are we to infer as to the disbursement of fifty millions annually ? A Startling Tragkdy. On monday night last a difficulty occurred in this place between Phillip Goode and Wm. Cloud, which resulted in the death of the latter Cloud received two balls, one in the breast, the other in the back. He died within two hours from the infliction of the wounds. Melancholy to tell, he has left a family of seven children. We understand Goode left during the night of the occurrence.. We are gratified to state that this unfor tunate affair had no connection with the political discussion of that day. Edgefield Advertiser, Itappears from the census returns that the State of Maryland lost last year two hundred and fifteen fugitive slaves, about two hundred more than all that have been recovered in-about the same period by the Fugitive slave law.

A high Military Court has recently been in feessumin Washington City, it. mem bers being among ; the firt fn rank and most distinguished in the at-my, and its object being the trial of Brevet "Brig. Gen George Talcott, Colonel of Ordnance, ( the Chief of the Corps.) on charges of Vio lation of the Regulations of that Depart ment; Wilful Disobedience of Orders of the Secretary of War; and conduct unbe coming an Officer and a Gentleman. These charges were preferred by the Sec retary of War, and grew out of a contract given through Brevet Col. Huger, for 500 tons of cannon balls, to a Dr Carmichael, an insolvent citizen of Richmond. Va.. who not havinS aJ foundry to make the hiia ti,i l. . r wo,., ouiu ins Luiiuici iu iue proprietor oi the Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond, for the snug sum of $6,500, which he pocketed. These balls were not wanted, the price paid was too high, and the con tract altogether was against the orders of the Secretary, who, having reason to sus pect that it had been made, endeavored repeatedly to ferret out its existence, by inquiring of Gen. Talcott, who invariably assured him that there was no such con tracts. It was contended by the accused that he did not know of the contract, that he belived the only order given for balls was an inconsiderable one by Col Huger for the purpose of conducting the usual artillery practice at Fort Monroe. The Court, however, found him guilty on all the charges, and sentenced him "lobedis missedihe service." Observer. The President approved the decision; and added, In reviewing these proceedings the President has seen with regret, and feels constrained to notice, the irregularity and negligence which, throughout the transac tion in which they originated, characteriz ed the conduct of iirevet Colonel Huger, commander of the Fort Monroe arsenal. The confidence naturally reposed by him in me ueau oi me corps luruisnes un doubtedly some apology for his course, but cannot justify it. lhe President deems it proper, par ticularly, to express ins disapprobation of all private correspondence on official busi ness. Such a practice not only prevents the preservation of a distinct and intelligi ble record of any transaction, so indispen sable in a government where public agenis are liable to be frequently changed, but is incompatible with the admitted accounta bility of every officer employed iu the dis bursement of public moneys!"

In the Right;- The- motto Crocket an admirable one of David was. be If sure you are right, then go ahead." one is in the right, whatever path he may pursue, he cannot fad of success; or if perchance he fail, he can lie down with his clear commending conscience, and sleep sweetly by the wayside, though his head rests upon a stone. Right is a prin ciple allied to those happy combinations, which, in the great aggregate of life, are certain to triumph. Right is like and truth, indestructible, eternal. light The aim of an honest man's life is not the happiness which serves only himself, but the virtue which is useful to others- The sun never enlightens all parts of our bodies at the same time; neither can reason illumine all sides of the mind at'ouce. 'A volume could be written," says the jYew York Herald, "on the benefits of advertising in the public prints, and he who denies its utility and the vast amount of good it confers on men of business, is behind the age. It has become an adjunct to business of every kind, and those who expend a portion of their capital in making themselves and their occupations known through the newspapers of the day, keep up with the spirit of the age, and find, when they sum up their profits at the end of the year, that what money they expend ed iu this way, was a safe and profitable investment." In all the schedules pre sented by bankr upts, not an instance has ever been known where an item has been set down as so much lost by advertising. A Patriotic Husband.
